Amrita Lahiri began dancing at age 7 in Washington, D.C. studying under Anuradha Nehru until she shifted to New Delhi at age 15. After her solo debut at the India International Centre in New Delhi in 1996, for which she was critically acclaimed as 'first-class professional material', she continued performing Kuchipudi and started learning Bharatanatyam under Leela Samson. Amrita is constantly innovating with the dance form, going deep into its roots, but also finding its wings in contemporary work. Through her performances, writings, workshops and choreographies, Amrita strives to expand and share the specific beauties of the art form. In this edition of Abhivyakti City Arts Project, her production ‘Ananta - Unlimited Women’ conveys a message using stories of strong female characters, emotions, and the unlimited nature of women and imagination. Through intricate mudras and expressive storytelling, her dance showcases the diverse experiences and triumphs of women by inspiring and empowering audiences.
